Air Warfare Centre

Air Warfare Centre

The Air Warfare Centre, known as the AWC, is a Royal Air Force research and testing organization based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom. It has a training branch nearby as a lodger unit of RAF Cranwell and other branches elsewhere, including at High Wycombe, [http://www.armedforces.co.uk/raf/listings/l0013.html and http://www.raf.mod.uk/structure/stations.cfm?selectLocation=East+Midlands] and, at least until 2000, the Air Guided Weapons Operational Evaluation Unit (AGWOEU) at RAF Valley in Wales. ['Missile Practice Camp,' in 'The Royal Air Force Yearbook 2000,' RAF Benevolent Fund Enterprises, 2000, p.52]

AGWOEU and SAEOU later amalgamated as Fast Jet and Weapons OEU (FJWOEU) and adopted the title No 41 (Reserve) Squadron after the Jaguar unit disbanded.

AWC has the motto "ARMA JUDICARE CONSILIUM DARE" (To test the weaponry and give advice).

Established in October 1993 [ [http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafwaddington/aboutus/otherunits.cfm RAF Waddington - Other Units ] ] , the AWC serves RAF Air Command by developing and implementing operational-level and tactical-level air doctrine. [ [http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafwaddington/aboutus/airwarfarecentre.cfm RAF Waddington - Air Warfare Centre ] ] Additionally, the Air Warfare Centre is co-located with the tri-service Defence Electronic Warfare Centre and contributes to the operational capability of the three British armed forces by providing Electronic Warfare support directly to the Permanent Joint Headquarters in Northwood and to various operational units. The Commandant of the Air War Centre is Air Commodore Julian Stinton.
